5 Top Rated Questions

Does the windshield channel need to attach to the top when the windshield channel is not on the Jeep? What I'd like to do is keep the windshield channel attached to the Jeep, and then quickly attach the top to the windshield channel when needed, without detaching the channel from the Jeep.

You can leave the header installed even without the top being installed. It does not need to be removed with the top.

An earlier question asked if door surrounds are required and was answered no. Is there a negative though if you do not add door surrounds or does it work equally well with or without?

The Bestop Header Safari Bikini Top, Black (10-17 Wrangler JK 2 Door) will work with or without door surrounds because all the door surrounds do are create a seal around the door to keep moisture out. The bikini top will work great with or without the door surrounds.

Hello, the Bestop Header Safari Bikini, Black (10-17 Wrangler JK 4 Door) is water resistant, but please take in consideration that this Bikini top does not seal as regular Soft Top, so under very high torrential rain you may witness some drops get in.

Thank you for your question! This includes the header attached to the top so that is approximately 52", so it might be difficult to store it in the back of the Jeep. However this will only take about 15 minutes to install/uninstall.

This is a truly great top. Very quick and easy to install, remove, or adjust. The one thing to note -- you have to buy the headliner bar separately - not clear on the website. Takes less than 15 minutes to install and even quicker to remove.

The material is a good grade and looks nice. The windshield mount fits very well but the plastic clips that you use to pull the back tight are cheap. Broke one installing and another on first trip out. I expect others will also break as you have to pull tight to stop the flapping on back end. You need to review this part as I cannot recommend others make a purchase until you do. Thanks

Fit was a little vague on front corners, triangle wedge in fabric needs to be folded under and leaves a wrinkle in top??? Back edge could use a brace to reduce flutter. This is a very nice addition in hot sun and rain.

All around this is a pretty good top for the price, but I had the same issues as some others here where it flapped in the back at speed. I tried strapping it super tight and one of the straps broke. It didn't take to long to start sagging in the back and collecting a ton of water when it rains. I got a good year or two out of it but now it needs replacing and I'll probably get a different one.

I wish they had designed it so the windshield channel stayed attached to the windshield and you just had the fabric top to tote around with you.
I find having the structured channel and all the various straps only makes the slightest bit more convenient than leaving my soft top on. Previous jeeps (yj and tj) were super convenient, but with this, I feel like I kind of wasted my money. if I had a hard top that might be different but not much gain if you have a soft top.

It’s a good product, it’s just noisy the loose material above the driver and passenger door
Flaps like crazy if you go over 40mph and very loud on the highway so if you hate loud road noise this is not the top for you it’s good for cruising around town not for highway driving.

Top is great for the price, does exactly what it is for, installed it with the header, there is no flapping with or without my doors on, and I did not get the optional door surrounds. Yeah it will leak between the door and top, but its a Jeep, you live with a little water, it I want water tight, I will put my hardtop back on. My only complaint is the way the top fastens. It could really use some quick connects over the belt style fasteners, but no biggie, they still work and hold it in place.

I was worried about some of the 1 star reviews but this top fits great, was easy to install and has been installed for about 3-4 weeks and is still tight. We have been on two road trips too. Great buy, great product, and easy to install.

I looked at this online and found the one for my 2017 Jeep Wrangler. I viewed the .pdf of the Install Instructions and based on that made the purchase.
When I received the product it did not match the .pdf instructions that I had read before.
Although that was the case the new Instructions stated it was for my model year so I installed it.
The differences were how it attached. The original instructions had shown straps in the middle to attach to the center bar of the sport bar. The one I received did not have those straps. It also showed straps that would wrap around the sport bar above the Driver and Passenger windows that were not there on the one I received.
After the install, it flopped so bad at speeds above 40mph that I had to take a 1" x 1/4" thick aluminum bar and a 1" x 1/8" aluminum bar and sandwich the rear edge of the top between them and screw them together. This works fine, at least to speeds of 70mph as that is as fast as I have been.
Now, that is good but if I roll the windows down the top flops up in down in the middle and slaps on the center of the sport bar and is too annoying to drive with the windows down.
I did purchase this for cold and raining weather but I would like to have the windows down when the weather is nice.
The quality seems to be good, time will tell on that.

I think this is a great top and it fits very well. There is absolutely no flap at highway speeds. The only complaint I have is that the straps that hook to the rear rollbars should have a better quick release function. Like all bikini tops, there should be a way to get it off quickly to enjoy the complete open air experience. Since the windshield header bars need to be bolted on, this is challenging. I will roll mine up to the header bar and strap it down and this works very well and I can quickly unravel it in case it rains. It would be faster if I didn't have to loop the straps on the back roll bar. I am working on a fix.

Super easy install with windshield channel which you purchase separately.now I can keep this rolled up in the back with my sunshade on all the time and throw this on in case of rain in five minutes can't beat the price super easy and fast shipping

Word On The Trail

This company has always been the go-to site for good deals, good products, and service. I never have had problem with the products sold, even after several years of use. For example I have had the tire rack on my jeep from 2003 to now, I have brought a new jeep and the first thing I ordered was a new rack from them for my new jeep. Good product, good service, and the best prices. I use this company as a base line to compare other dealers with, and this company always wins out.
